james and craigd, these fanatics know they can't change the world with hunting knives and sacks of nuts and bolts and explosives. They're trying to destabilize the West's institutions, our democratic values of moderation and human rights.
From some responses here it appears a few of us are swallowing the jihadist strategy. It's not surprising. Countries often decide freely to smash their governments, start all over again, and end up with an authoritarian thug.
Reason usually prevails.The US dismantled the Weathermen in the 60s without fuss. Canada same time impulsively invoked the War Measures Act, rooting hundreds of citizens from their homes in the night, during the Quebec crisis.
Keep cool. Germany is the moral and muscle of Europe today. It was the last country under an authoritarian thug to try to rid the world of a religious faith by gas, garrotting, meat hooks, executions and buried alive.
Y'know, like some are advocating here.
